Before you go objectifying Chris Hemsworth, People magazine’s “2014 Sexiest Man Alive”, there’s much more to this fine man than meets the eye. During his interview with Antoinette Coulton and Julie Jordan of People magazine, the Thor actor revealed his well-grounded self perception and values.
Chris Hemsworth and his brothers Liam and Luke, grew up in Melbourne, Australia, sons of Craig and Leonie Hemsworth. Their dad was a social-service counselor who also worked on a cattle station; their mother was an English teacher. There’s no sense of entitlement from Chris. When asked about what his brothers would think of his new title of “Sexiest Man Alive” during his interview with People magazine, he stated, “They will probably give me the hardest time. They’ll give me some stick over it.” He continues, “But that’s all right; that’s what brothers do.”
Another dimension to Chris is his role of husband and father. In December 2010, he married Spanish-born actress Elsa Pataky . He doesn’t claim to be a romantic, “We decided to get married before I proposed. I’m pretty bad at that stuff.” His love for Elsa is apparent as he describes his relationship with his wife, “Obviously she’s beautiful. She makes me laugh, and we have fun.” The couple have three children together, 2-year-old India, and 8-month-old twin boys Sasha and Tristan. When asked if their children will be bilingual, he says, “Yes, definitely.” Their daughter, who’s learning to talk, speaks a combination of English and Spanish. He adds, “It’s Spanglish from her.” Fatherhood definitely agrees with Chris. He enjoys rolling around on the floor playing games with his daughter, acting like a big kid himself. He states, “Being a dad, you grow up really quick. You become incredibly more responsible, and the kid inside you comes back.” He describes his perfect day as spending time with his family at the beach swimming and playing together.
Chris hasn’t had much family time lately. His family is at home in Australia while he is filming Ron Howard’s In the Heart of the Sea. He states, “This was the first time I’ve been away from them for a while; I’m ready to get back.” He’s also returning as Thor in Avengers: Age of Ultron. But, the role he loves the most is that of dad. He told People magazine, “Any moments I can just be with my family are perfect.”
